Trump Booed At Davos For Criticizing 'Fake' Media

Audience members also booed when the president was introduced.

Davos Economic Forum attendees booed President Donald Trump at an appearance on Friday in which he criticized the media as "fake."

Trump told world political and business leaders at the annual gathering in Switzerland that as a businessman, he received positive media coverage, but once he launched his presidential campaign in 2015, he realized that reporters were "nasty" and "fake," eliciting boos from people in the audience.

"It wasn't until I became a politician that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious and how fake the press can be ― as the cameras start going off in the back," Trump said. The president frequently makes the false claim that television cameras don't air his anti-media remarks.

Some reporters at the forum said some of the booing came from foreign journalists.
